+1's and -1's are useless now, stop using them

[Arrly]

Hello everyone!
Recently the forums update has been made - https://prnt.sc/v7ht40 - which made it so you can upvote/downvote suggestions. As stated in the screenshot, that means you should stop posting -1 and +1 comments on suggestion threads. The problem is that a lot of people ignore that because they want to farm posts. That makes the suggestions kinda messy and it would be a lot better if everyone stopped posting +1's and -1's.
Replies in suggestions are supposed to be used for valid arguments that can benefit the discussion and not for just expressing the pure opinion, for that we have the upvotes/downvotes.
I hope this thread will help people understand that they really, really do not need to post +1's and -1's in suggestion threads because it's annoying and unnecessary. The same applies to "neutral" comments.
Thank you all for reading and have a nice day!

A very very valid point . Use the comment section as a median to transfer your suggestions tothe thread maker . We have the upvote and downvote system for people who just drop their +1's and -1's don't use it as a median to grind your messages . Leave a message which is helpful towards the thread or improving the suggestions.

They do not need to know that you specifically agree. It's enough to look at the upvotes/downvotes to get a good idea of what the community as a whole thinks.

Then they should just look at the votes and don't give a fk about the replies Xd

Replies are meant for improvement not going through bunch of people typing +1 -1 this is annoying from the one making suggestions too he made a suggestion to improve a specific thing and posted here to ask for more better suggestions . The upvote and downvote clearly show you how many agreed how many didn't no specific need to type +1 and -1

im pretty sure they can easily scroll down to a normal reply easily. its easy to spot the difference between "+/-1" and any other text
